In short: up hill, down hill, up hill, up hill, down hill, up hill... you get the idea?In full: Scenic, but narrow path along the A20 was a bit dodgy for overtakes, Marshalls are the best so a big thanks to them, the long down hill home after 8 miles was very welcomed by me! great support from Maidstone people and glorious views across kent reminded me why i love to live in our great countyDate of review: October 16, 2011

In short: My first Marathon, Another tick off my bucket list!In full: TRRAC have done a fantastic job. In our budget tightening times to find a Marathon entry at this price, with this level of support and organisation is incredable, the stunning views of the Kent coastline, the happy banter and support of other runners is all top drawer, its probably Kents best kept running secret but I feel once the word is out the few "on the day" entries will become a thing of memory! I was amazed at the level of support mustered up as Marshals and the manning of drink/gel stations, that must have been a logistical headache that worked so well on the day a BIG THANK YOU to TRRAC Commitee, Marshals, and sponsors.Date of review: September 5, 2011

In short: The one to bring your family, you run they admire the scenic gardens! In full: A big THANK YOU to the house owner who kindly provided a cold hosepipe shower, i dont think i could have done it without you, can the marshall at dawes rd? junction indicate its all down hill now? as i kept something back not knowing it was all downhill for 2 clicks (apart from the last few hundred calf muscle killing metres!) well organised, nice setting, well marshalled, nice friendly french coach load of runners to ad to the mix and atmosphere...superb.Date of review: July 3, 2011

In short: second year for me and i cut my time down yippeeIn full: one good hill 6.5k to 7k then plain sailing! the home made cakes are superb in the village hall, worth running for that alone! and sweat shop clearance running shoes stand had some real bargains....Date of review: May 15, 2011

In short: Around the cone and run for homeIn full: Having arrived early I parked in town for a quick getaway, I enjoyed a hot sweet tea in the clubhouse and observed Martin Burke of nice work doing what an organiser often needs to do... the work of 4 people before and after the race! I enjoyed a nice fast course beating my PB by 12 minutes (only my second half!), But I disliked having to play dodge the wing mirror at my sprint for home. Having declined water around the course I was a bit disappointed at no water at the end. My experience of lord mayors funds is that they often supply families who have fallen on hard times hampers at Christmas etc so a very good cause. So well done the “Nice Work” team I have enjoy the half a dozen races I have attend so far.Date of review: March 14, 2011

In short: it felt almost all downhill how did they do it?In full: Superb race to the normal "Easy Work" high standard of organisation, having googled the given post code the car parking was easy to find!parking marshall, race marshall, finish line marshall..all superb... apart from the short gentle hill at 7.1k (my first 10k was stelling minnis, it has two mountains!) it seemed all downhill! how do they do that? it looks like i may have shaved at least 2 mins off my PB so it must be fast, with such a big entry there was allways someone to pace and race with, loved it........best get your entry in early for 2012Date of review: February 6, 2011

In short: School run with all the fun!In full: A well organized run with a start/finish in the beautiful chocolate box lid village, the village school benefits and we get to run through the narrow leafy country lanes of Westwell and enjoy a 2 kilometer down hill on the pilgrims way(phew!) the climb up hill prior to joining this trail is about 4.5k into the run and is steep, but it really is "...all down hill after that!" bear in mind it is partly a rough surface trail and wear appropriate footwear and be prepared to dodge the odd tree root or muddy puddle...Date of review: September 4, 2010
